Yes it’s true – I rarely manipulate the cartoons digitally – but this time I did, because I wanted the images to be (almost) exactly the same. I didn’t want anybody seeing any differences that weren’t meant to be there! 🙂

Love this one!! Looked at the top panel – looked at the second. Took a good look at the leg-less “spider” and thought for a one second, two seconds – then nearly smacked on myself on the forehead when I remember ‘oh-yeah, spiders have 8 LEGS!’

You all have it wrong. The spider is actually not part of the upper picture, he is a real spider. He just happens to have a black body the same size as the black spot he is sitting on.
The real 8 differences are that every eigth portion of the lower picture is further away from the top of the page than the upper picture.
